Magnetotaxis in droplet microswimmers
Martin W. Wagner, Freek Domburg, Carsten Krüger +4
Magnetotaxis is a well known phenomenon in swimming microorganisms which sense magnetic fields e.g. by incorporating crystalline magnetosomes. In designing artificial active matter…
Electrotaxis of self-propelling artificial swimmers in microchannels
Carola M. Buness, Avi Rana, Corinna C. Maass +1
Ciliated microswimmers and flagellated bacteria alter their swimming trajectories to follow the direction of an applied electric field exhibiting electrotaxis. Both for matters of…
Arrested on heating: controlling the motility of active droplets by temperature
Prashanth Ramesh, Yibo Chen, Petra Räder +3
Self-propelling active matter relies on the conversion of energy from the undirected, nanoscopic scale to directed, macroscopic motion. One of the challenges in the design of synth…
Interfacial activity dynamics of confined active droplets
Prashanth Ramesh, Babak Vajdi Hokmabad, Arnold J. T. M. Mathijssen +2
Active emulsions can spontaneously form self-propelled droplets or phoretic micropumps. It has been predicted that the interaction with their self-generated chemical fields can lea…
Collective entrainment and confinement amplify transport by schooling micro-swimmers
Chenyu Jin, Yibo Chen, Corinna C. Maass +1
Micro-swimmers can serve as cargo carriers that move deep inside complex flow networks. When a school collectively entrains the surrounding fluid, their transport capacity can be e…
Oscillatory rheotaxis of active droplets in microchannels
Ranabir Dey, Carola M. Buness, Babak Vajdi Hokmabad +2
Biological microswimmers are known to navigate upstream of an external flow (positive rheotaxis) in trajectories ranging from linear, spiral to oscillatory. Such rheotaxis stems fr…
